If you want to know if Delray Beach Florida is a good place to live, chances are you’ve already heard the western suburbs are known for the best 55 plus communities. These developments are legally age-restricted, so at least one resident has to meet or exceed 55 years of age. Now called “active adult,” these top retirement living choices are so popular, even the area’s top developers continue to build them. Expanded roads and shopping plazas have grown up around them, offering everything from supermarkets to movies and casual restaurants. What’s the attraction? They’re gated for added security, and prospective buyers have a wide range of inexpensive condos and single-family homes to more upscale communities with resort-style amenities.
What are the pros and cons of 55 plus communities?
The tax advantages of living in Florida range from no state or inheritance taxes to qualifying for a property tax exemption for seniors. Often called day camps for seniors, all the activities are geared toward retirees. The only “con” is that each development has its own set of rules and regulations. Your Lang Realty agent will make sure you know when you choose this lifestyle.
